The Rock Legends Cruise XIII for 2026 has officially sold out, proving once again that classic rock isn’t just alive — it’s thriving, loud, and floating somewhere in the Caribbean.
Set to sail February 23–27, 2026, aboard Royal Caribbean’s Liberty of the Seas, the five-day rock & roll voyage departs from Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, bringing more than 4,000 fans together with over 20 legendary artists for what has become one of the most beloved and unique music experiences in the world.
Part floating festival, part fan convention, and part luxury vacation — the Rock Legends Cruise continues to be one of the fastest-selling specialty cruises anywhere, and 2026 is no exception.
A Lineup That Reads Like a Rock Hall Fantasy Camp
The 2026 edition is headlined by a historic reunion of The Guess Who, reuniting Randy Bachman and Burton Cummings for the first time in years — a moment many fans thought they might never see again.
Joining them onboard:
Gene Simmons Band
Kevin Cronin Band (REO Speedwagon frontman)
Eric Burdon & The Animals
Loverboy
Blue Öyster Cult
Uriah Heep
John Oates
Jefferson Starship
Outlaws
Atlanta Rhythm Section
Willie Nile
Ugly Kid Joe
Gary Hoey
Robert Jon & The Wreck
Two Wolf
Parker Barrow
The Retrograde
Lower Case Blues
…and more.
From British Invasion icons and arena-rock royalty to blues, southern rock, and modern roots revivalists, RLC XIII offers a truly cross-generational celebration of rock history.
And unlike land festivals, every guest is guaranteed great sightlines, intimate venues, multiple performances from each artist, and something that simply doesn’t exist elsewhere: casual, personal interaction with the legends themselves — from Q&As and autograph sessions to sharing a drink at the bar or bumping into them by the pool.
Rock Meets Paradise
Beyond the music, guests will enjoy everything the Liberty of the Seas has to offer:
Multiple concert venues onboard
Fine dining and casual restaurants included
A day at sea for pure relaxation
A stop in Grand Turk, Turks & Caicos
Activities like the FlowRider surf simulator, rock-climbing wall, pools, spas, and lounges
All concerts, meals, and shipboard entertainment are included in the booking, making it a rare “all-in” luxury rock experience.
A Cruise With a Cause
Rock Legends Cruise isn’t just about nostalgia and good times — it exists for a purpose.
The cruise was created to support the Native American Heritage Association (NAHA), a nonprofit that has spent nearly 25 years providing direct aid to Lakota (Sioux) communities on reservations in South Dakota and Wyoming.
Founded by David Myers with nothing more than a station wagon full of food and clothing, NAHA has grown into a major humanitarian organization delivering over $78 million in aid annually, including food, clothing, heating fuel, and basic necessities to communities facing staggering hardship:
Up to 80% unemployment
Suicide rates 70% above the national average
Infant mortality exceeding many developing nations
Diabetes and related deaths at twice the U.S. average
Rock Legends Cruise has helped raise awareness, funds, and visibility for this often-overlooked crisis — proving that rock & roll can still change the world, not just soundtrack it.

Rock Never Retires — It Just Goes to Sea
With each passing year, the Rock Legends Cruise becomes less of a novelty and more of a pilgrimage — a gathering of artists and fans who shaped modern music, celebrating not just the past, but the living, breathing culture of rock.
Judging by how fast 2026 sold out, the message is clear:
Rock legends don’t fade away.
They sell out cruise ships. 🚢🎸
